I disagree with you about Ginn, but I appreciate your fire.

Thanks for posting (and not waiting to "cool out"). True emotion is always appreciated.

 

The final word from someone who was there.

 

Paul Soliai single handedly costed us 3 points.

 

I share your feelings on this one. Such a beautiful display by the offense. And its completely ruined by putrid defensive play.

 

This kinda felt like the Texans game last year. You just knew the defense was gonna let them score. When we had to settle for that last field goal, my dad and I just looked at each other in disgust because we knew we were screwed.

 

This is one of the worst regular season losses that I can remember and I have been a fan since 1971. The only losses that I can remember being as hard to take for me were Dan Marino's last game against Jacksonville....I think we lost 62-7. Also the 1974 Sea of Hands loss to the Raiders, and the 2002 loss in Week 17 to the Patriots when we blew an 11 point 4th quarter lead.

There is absolutely no way we should have lost this game. I could maybe understand not being prepared on the first play of the game and seeing the D giving up one long TD.....but all night long our defense could not tackle....our d-backs got burnt repeatedly. How do you control the ball for 3/4 of the game and still lose? I still love my Phins but losses like this really make you wonder if this team is cursed. :cry:

 

???????????????

 

it was 3 and 15 for the Colts after an offisdees penalty, Solai then decided to get flagged for an encroachment penalty making it an easier 3 and 10 which Indy converted.

 

Thanks for the write up. I really do feel for Pennington, some of those play calls didn't make sense. I'd be upset if my OC called for a draw on 3rd and 6 to just get closer to that field goal. That's not showing confidence in your quarterback, IMO. Two straight draws before the two minute warning (and we had to call a timeout to call another ****ing draw?) also is something that displeases me.

I want to see Henne eventually, but Pennington got dealt a bad hand with those two playcalls that wasted (no way around this) over a minute and a timeout. Pennington deserves the start for next week, that's for sure.

 

What kind of view did you have of Ginn's route on that final jump ball?

 

Tony McDaniel.

 

you cant win when you give up big plays like that, you simply cant.

 

I thought Bess was pretty open on the sideline at about the 5 yard line too. Looked like there wasn't anyone within a 10 yard radium of him.

 

That is who I saw on TV that was open. I was like man throw it to Bess on the sideline.

 

yeah if that was manning throwing to ginn, the pass would have been on a rope and the defender wouldve never been able to catch up. guess you cant blame penny either. he is what he is. i wonder if henne makes that pass

 

I wanted to punch somebody in the face so bad, but Colts fans aren't obnoxious enough. :sad:

 

Do you ever notice that Adam Vinatieri NEVER misses a big kick...EVER....look at all the playoff and Superbowl wins that were a direct result of his kicks...tonight he banks one in off the uprights....I knew then that Carpenter would likely miss one and that it would end up costing us the game. :tantrum:

 

do what i'm going to do. drive to buffalo and deface a Bills player's front lawn

 

There were numerous times tonight when we had receivers open about 20-30 yards downfield, but I think Sparano must have given orders that Pennington will be fined or benched if he throws a pass over 10 yards????? I don't get it? I think it is nice to be cautious and safe and play ball control offense, but then we got down to the Indy 30 yard line with about 3 1/2 half minutes left and we run it on a 3rd and 6????????? We played for a field goal which we all knew would cost us with Manning coming back in. Manning had the ball less then 15 minutes and that was all the time he needed. :sad:

 

I nearly got in a fight with a colts fan than said absolutely nothing to me...feel bad about it now...but felt right then.
